Wake Up and Open Your Eyes

by Clay McLeod Chapman

You’re the worst kind of liberal. A self-loathing liberal. Who else would have the voice of Anderson Fucking Cooper chastising them in their head? Your liberal values were a façade. A flimsy barrier between you and your own baseness. You are no better. You are worse. Know why? Because you believed you were better. You believed you were somehow superior to your brother, to your parents, to half of the country. You never believed the shit you preached. You don’t believe in anything. You have nothing, no values, no belief system beyond your own selfishness. You don’t believe in God or the Devil or any higher power, and you look down on those who do. You laugh at them. Mock them. In your snooty-pants superiority complex, you never had anything to call your own. No belief beyond what’s right there in front of you. You have always been selfish. Empty. Craven.
